I can't use for instance cron, because the sheduling is done in a different system.

You lost me. Why can't you use cron? You can put a CGI or GUI frontend on it if you want, and have it write edits out to crontab (there's a module for that).

Also if i just execute the perl programms through the sheduling system, i have a scalabilty problem ... like the cgi problem with httpd, addressed with mod_perl.

mod_perl doesn't reduce concurrency. It elminates the need to fork at request time (by forking ahead of time) and allows persistent connections to databases. Both of those help performance a lot. If you think that would help your situation, you could try re-writing your programs as mod_perl modules, and calling them from cron via LWP.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
